DePape tells law enforcement officials that, “The whole lot’s good,” at which level the officers instruct him to drop the hammer.

DePape then seems to tear the hammer totally away from Pelosi, who’s in sleep put on, earlier than putting Pelosi with a robust overhand blow. The 2 officers then cost inside – certainly one of them shouting an expletive – tackling DePape.

He has pled not responsible to the state fees.
